Anyway, I'm pretty sure I can't keep a steady pace of 20 mph on any bike or any terrain. I just don't think I have it in me.
Personally, I don’t think weight makes much difference to me (commuting), unless I’m willing to get out of the saddle to accelerate. Then it can make a big difference. Still, it doesn’t get me to work much faster. Better tires may get me to work a little faster.

That applies to me! If I’m on a fast bike, I want to go fast. And a fast bike does encourage me to get out of the saddle and accelerate!
